Contentment

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCXVI (1799) First Line: Fierce passions discompose the mind Lyrics: 1 Fierce passions discompose the mind, As tempest vex the sea; But calm content and peace we find, When, Lord, we turn to thee. 2 In vain by reason and by rule, We try to bend the will; For none but in the Saviour's school Can learn the heavn'ly skill. 3 Since at his feet my soul has sat, His gracious words to hear, contented with my present state, I cast on him my care. 4 'Tis he appoints my daily lot, And will do all things well; Soon shall I leave this wretched spot, And rise with him to dwell. 5 In life his grace shall strength supply, Proportion'd to my day; In death I still shall find him nigh, To bear my soul away. 6 Thus I, who once my wretched days In vain repinings spent; Taught in my Saviour's school of grace, Have learn'd to be content.

Divine Forgiveness

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #LXXVIII (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: Forgiveness! 'tis a joyful sound Lyrics: 1 Forgiveness! 'tis a joyful sound To malefactors doom'd to die; Publish the bliss the world around; Ye seraphs, shout it from the sky! 2 'Tis the rich gift of love divine; 'Tis full, out-measuring every crime; Unclouded shall its glories shine, And fee no change, by changing time. 3 O'er sins unnumber'd as the sand, And like the mountains for their size, the seas of sov'reign grace expand, The seas of sov'reign grace arise. 4 For this stupendous love of heav'n What grateful honors shall we show? Where much transgression is forgiv'n Let love in equal adors glow. 5 By this inspir'd, let all our days With various holiness be crown'd, Let truth and goodness, pray'r and praise In all abide, in all abound.

A Hymn for the Evening of the Lord's day

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCCXXIII (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: Frequent the day of God returns Lyrics: 1 Frequent the day of God returns To shed its quick'ning beams; And yet how slow devotion burns! How languid are its flames! 2 Accept my faint attempts to love, My frailties, Lord forgive; I would be like thy saints above, And praise thee while I live. 3 Assist me while i wander here, Amidst a world of cares: Incline my heart to pray with love, And then accept my pray'rs. 4 Release my soul from every chain, No more hell's captive led; And pardon a repenting child, For whom the Saviour bled. 5 Spare me, my God, O spare the soul That gives itself to thee; Take all that I possess below, And give thy face to see. 6 Thy spirit, O my Father, give, To be my guide and friend, To light my ways to ceaseless joys, To Sabbaths without end.

Exhortation to trust in Providence

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #XXV (1799) Meter: 6.6.8.6 First Line: Give to the winds thy fears Lyrics: 1 Give to the winds thy fears, Hope and be undismay'd, God hears thy sighs and counts thy tears, God shall lift up thy head. 2 Thro' waves and clouds and storms, He gently clears thy way; Wait thou his time, so shall this night Soon end in joyous day. 3 Still heavy is thy heart, Still sink thy spirits down; Cast off the weight, let fear depart, And every care be gone. 4 What tho' thou rulest not, Yet heav'n, and earth, and hell, Proclaim, God sitteth on the throne, And ruleth all things well. 5 Leave to his sov'reign sway To chuse and to command, So shalt thou wond'ring own his way, How wise, how strong his hand! 6 Far, far above thy thought His counsel shall appear, When fully he the work that wrought, That caus'd thy needless fear. 7 Thou seest our weakness, Lord, Our hearts are known to thee; O lift thou up the sinking heart, Confirm the feeble knee. 8 Let us in life, in death, Thy stedfast truth declare, And publish with our latest breath Thy love and guardian care.

The day of judgment will shew the connection between sin and misery

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #CCCLXVII (1799) Meter: 8.8.8.8 First Line: God from his throne with piercing eye Lyrics: 1 God from his throne with piercing eye, Naked does ev'ry heart behold; But never, till we come to die, To us will such a view unfold. 2 Should sin, in naked form appear, Just as it rises in the heart, And others know and see it there In ev'ry feeling, every thought: 3 The fire of hell must kindle soon, How envy and revenge would flame! One heart would urge another on, Till rage and vengeance want a name! 4 Sin in its nature would appear A living death, to form a hell; The worst of mis'ries creatures fear, The worst of plagues the tongue can tell. 5 Unvail'd and naked ev'ry heart Before the judgment seat must stand, Sin act no more a double part, But meet a death from its own hand. 6 The fiery lake must hotter grow From the fierce clash of sinful souls; Each bosom like a furnace glow, Nor God the rage, or fire control.

The mysteries of Providence; or light shining out of darkness

Hymnal: HSHM1799 #XXIII (1799) Meter: 8.6.8.6 First Line: God moves in a mysterious way Lyrics: 1 God moves in a mysterious way, His wonders to perform; He plants his footsteps in the sea, And rides upon the storm. 2 Deep in unfathomable mines Of never-failing skill, He treasures up His bright designs, And works his sov'reign will. 3 Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take, The clouds ye so much dread, Are big with mercy, and shall break In blessings on your head. 4 Judge not the Lord by feeble sense But trust him for his grace; Behind a frowning providence, He hides a smiling face. 5 His purposes will ripen fast, Unfolding every hour; The bud may have a bitter taste, But sweet will be the flower. 6 Blind unbelief is sure to err And scan His work in vain; God is his own interpreter, And he will make it plain.
